Why do some Sellers insist on Friends And Family PayPal Payment Mode ?

[rookieforever33]

I cant be the only one thats still paying with a check or money order?

Im definitely on the boomer train. But I will not send a personal check to an individual on the internet. It has my banks routing number, my account number, full legal name. No way

Glad I started the thread because I have read some very interesting replies and it appears some are getting somewhat educated in how PayPal operates.
I have had occasions where I had to get PayPal involved in less than honorable transactions which always resulted in a favorable judgements on my behalf, something which would never have happened with a Family and Friends transaction.

As for me I will voice my opinion just like some of the others.
If a person uses Goods and Services when selling an item just to avoid the fees or to shield themselves from the tax guy you are being dishonest, meaning if you screw them you would probably screw me too.
I will pay what you feel you have to have but include the fees, it's the right and only way I will do business with you

I’m already paying 49 god damn percent.
How much more should I pay.
And that’s out of my paycheck. That doesn’t include all that taxes after.

So they can use it on gender affirmation education and war.

Get real

Well guys I think we found the one IRS agent in our ranks.

I also loved when after a video call and what I assumed was f&f agreement I got g&s and ate another $49 off my bino sale.

I should of refunded, but I’m a nice guy.

I look at a guy's presence and post count. Most scammers and dicks don't make it long here without being called out.
You buy from me I'll send it out as soon as possible.
I try my hardest to describe accurately. Plus, most the stuff I sell is brand new.
I work the fee and shipping into the cost as well.
And I am open to phone calls, whatever the buyer wants to do.

And I agree, the feedback needs to be used more. I've found myself asking for feedback.

I wish there was a way to leave feedback on mobile. It’d get used a lot more

Buying and selling is two people agreeing on terms for the exchange. If one party doesn’t like the terms, they can negotiate or move on. Nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to buy or sell your item.

It's a guarantee that Captain Obvious will show up in threads like this.

OP turned in neighbors for violating COVID lockdown

I don't think this is entirely accurate. If you do tie your SS to the account you can avoid the tax witholding. The 24% is only for accounts that haven't been tied to a SS.

Thanks for clearing that up. When I first read that it costs 22% or 24%, that's crazy. I guess PP does that for sellers trying to avoid paying taxes to the Government. Does that mean PP sends the extra $$ to US Treasury?

How about not using PayPal for anything since they actively support gun control?

Thanks all for your input, appreciate it.
My wages were paid by US taxpayers and I paid my share of taxes on that money just the same as everyone else and continue to do so.
Some do it willingly and some begrudgingly, it’s the world we live in and everyone is entitled to make their own decisions and be comfortable with them.

I walk in my own shoes and they are a very comfortable fit for me.
You do you and I’ll do me, it’s what makes the US what it is today, for better or worse.

Businesses using the classifieds are supposed to be sponsors. Perhaps you are being dishonest by skirting that sponsorship.

It also not about paying or not paying
It’s about paperwork.
I’m not an office nerd, I can barely turn on a computer. I go thru all kinds of gear every year. How in the heck would I ever keep track?
If I didn it with paper receipts I’d have an entire warehouse of them.
I don’t have a full time account.

How in the absolute crap would someone keep track of it?

Why on gods green would you voluntarily pay unnecessary taxes? Rokslide is no different that going to a garage sale. Guy has a pair or boots and a jacket you like. You barter back and forth, hand him $40 cash, take your goods and move on. After your garage sale are you going to fill out a form for Uncle Sam? Hell no you’re not.

PayPal Goods and Services is for businesses to sell NEW products. It’s not for used boots and a jacket from a hunting forum.

But if you hate money and want to keep pissing it away, feel free, my friend. Bypassing PayPal Goods and Service's is not immoral, or illegal.

 

[BRTreedogs]

I pay a crap Ton more taxes as I take the standard deduction because I’m not a computer or paperwork nerd and I don’t want to deal with more of it.
I don’t spread sheet or PowerPoint or anything of the sort.

Every year there is a thread similar to this one. Apparently it must not be that obvious.

Mine is paid by the State tax payer and I hope every person in my State finds a way to pay the least amount of taxes possible.

Man, an actual live phone call goes so far. I dont buy and sell a ton of stuff, but so far 100% of the time when a phone call goes well the transaction goes well. As a buyer, I use that call to get a sense of the other person and attempt to gauge the risk of me sending $xxx to a stranger with no recourse. Not to mention Ive made a few friends that way over the years. Honestly, given what I buy and given that call, Im happy to send a personal check, a money order, whatever. I have zero faith that paypal or venmo or whatever will be an assist anyway, given most of what I buy is gun-related. Pp and venmo are convenient, but frankly id prefer not to use them at all.

Some of you guys are so gullible it fathoms my mind but thanks for the entertainment value provided.
If nothing more it is worth the ride, lol.
